Former Anambra Governor Peter Obi has sent a motivational message to the Super Eagles of Nigeria following their defeat to DR Congo in Sunday’s tense World Cup qualifiers.
The Super Eagles were held to a 1-1 draw following 120 minutes of football and lost 3-4 to Congo after penalties were played.
In his message to the team, Obi advised them not to allow the moment to break them, noting that great teams are defined by their response to adversity.
The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party urged them to keep their heads high and remain committed.
